I applied through university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Rakuten in Dec 2014
Interview
The interviews were not very much technical but related to projects and all done during my engineering. Also, some HR type questions were also asked like what are your short term and long term goals, why should I hire you and son on so forth. In all, interview was not very much difficult and they didn't ask any coding question as the interview was on skype.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leetcode question - no coding - just mention the approach. System design question.
Disorganized, no HR reached out to discuss about the administrative details and salary and benefits, the hiring manager reached out directly, scheduled a meeting and asked about HR questions(visa, RTO etc.)
The hiring manager was late for over 5 mins minutes, no apologies, no greetings. Negative experience
The interview covered Python libraries, networking, and my software engineering experience. While questions were basic, they can be tricky for seniors. Review your definitions alongside your past projects to succeed.
